Query via QM 8/15 (new manuscript from my prior comment)
Full request 8/22
Nudge with offer of rep 9/25
Super kind step aside 9/26
Alyssa has been absolutely wonderful in all of our communication and I can only imagine would be a FANTASTIC agent and author advocate.
Also, I’ve now received three offers of rep on this project—my first offer(s) ever after having written four prior books. Keep writing everyone! The next book could be The One :)
